So.. I know this is a "live" competition and taking it upon yourself to do everything in one take, without any kind of mixing can be challenging at times. Since i have done a few #openmic entries so far, I thought it would be a smart thing to push myself a bit further. (Ill probably regret that in the morning when my voice is gone. 😅).
Gotta grow and improve your content, eh?🧐
Which is exactly why ill be taking a crack at this song. Im writing this prior to recording, so it might take me 2 takes 🎬or 55 of them🎬. Ill keep that a secret. 😀
I added a bit of background violin.
Im trying to over-dramatize my entry so its a bit more interesting to read the text. 🤣
I mean most of you know this song already and know what Beyonce can do when shes trying to create amazing music. I consider this song to be top of her repertoire in terms of quality and the best showcase for her amazing vocal skills. I really do not know of any well known female musician nowadays, that can challenge her in that regard. The song was written by her and a few others for the musical: "Dreamgirls". The original video for the song is made from the scenes in the movie. (No @scuzzy, im not writing a #recordpool post 🙂)
Not really much else to say.. Ill try my best and i hope you will find this to be an enjoyable cover.
As i might have mentioned, ill be using @dtube for all my openmic entries and adding an embed youtube video to the post. Just a reminder to all the musicians that want to support dtube and the Steemit based platforms, all of this is within #openmic rules, and i encourage everyone to help grow our community from every side. Be that dsound, dtube or any other platform. In my opinion the minor expense is nothing compared to the overwhelming benefit this would create in terms of the attracting more users to our community with the diverse and amazing content many of you create. Musical or other. Something i think is in all our interest.
Listen to the song here in my heart
A melody I start but can't complete
Listen to the sound from deep within
It's only beginning to find release
Oh, the time has come for my dreams to be heard
They will not be pushed aside and turned
Into your own
All 'cause you won't listen
Listen
I am alone at a crossroads
I'm not at home in my own home
And I've tried and tried
To say what's on my mind
You should have known
Oh, now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what you made of me
I followed the voice you gave to me
But now I gotta find my own
You should have listened
There is someone here inside
Someone I thought had died
So long ago
Oh, I'm screaming out, and my dreams will be heard
They will not be pushed aside or worse
Into your own
All 'cause you won't listen
Listen
I am alone at a crossroads
I'm not at home in my own home
And I've tried and tried
To say what's on my mind
You should have known
Oh, now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what you made of me
I followed the voice you gave to me
But now I gotta find my own
I don't know where I belong
But I'll be moving on
If you don't
If you won't
Listen to the song here in my heart
A melody I start
But I will complete
Oh, now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what you've made of me
I followed the voice you think you gave to me
But now I gotta find my own
My own

Every time you try it theres always that little bit you could have done differently. If i could have cut it up from a few takes it would have probably turned out better. But, hey, thats the beauty of openmic, showing what you can do in one breath. :)
